A day at Hogwarts

Chapter 97 Making Friends

The auditorium in Waggadu is located near the observatory on the top of the mountain. It is larger than the dining hall in Hogwarts, and it is full of people outside.

Charles went back to his residence and put on his Hogwarts robes. When he came here, he found that there was a long queue, and many students from Waggadu were maintaining order.

It looked like they were selling something over there, but people blocked the billboards so they couldn't see it.

Seeing Seamus come out with a smile on his face, Charles went over to him and asked, "What good things did you buy?"

Simo handed him the box, and said cheerfully: "The automatic translation pen can help you write the spoken words into the languages ​​of other countries."

Charles frowned, thinking it was a good thing, he opened the box and saw that it was a hero card.

Seamus asked again, "Do you have a notebook? I think I'll need it later."

He knew Charles very well. This guy had a lot of things in his bag, probably a notebook.

Charles did have a notebook, for he usually used a pen, and a bottle of ink.

He took the ink bottle to absorb ink for Seamus' automatic translation pen, and other Hogwarts students who bought pens also came over after seeing him.

At this moment, Charles saw Fu Rong not far away who was changing into her school uniform and looked at the people in the queue, who seemed to be a little embarrassed. She seemed to want to queue, but she was worried about something.

At this time, several young students from the Chinese delegation came over, including Zhang Jingjing. Seeing Fu Rong's embarrassed expression, she ran backstage and asked for one for her.

I don't know if Zhang Jingjing asked for money. Anyway, Charles found out that the price of this pen is the same as adding a marinated egg to a rice noodle stall. If he doesn't talk about making money, he just wants to make friends.

Charles took the ink bottle and asked Fleur, "Do you want more ink?"

Zhang Jingjing, who didn't understand French, could see the general idea, and murmured in a low voice: "I've never seen anyone who is lame."

She knew that Charles knew Mandarin, so she thought she didn't know what she said.

As a result, Charles smiled and said to her: "Beauty girl, Fleur and I are pure friends, don't talk nonsense."

Zhang Jingjing was taken aback, and Charles continued to say to her: "I have also eaten lemon duck at Gaofeng Forest Farm, wonton at Zhucheng, and stew pot at Shuangmajing." After finishing speaking, I returned it to her. A big smile.

While chatting in the afternoon, Charles asked where the two little girls Zhang Jingjing and Fang Yan were from, and unexpectedly learned that they were fellow villagers in his previous life.

He had gone back with the old man before, and found that he vaguely remembered that the location of "home" was a vegetable field full of water spinach, so he lost his thoughts on this aspect.

Seeing that Zhang Jingjing was frightened, Fu Rong immediately protected her behind her and said to Charles with a bad expression, "Don't bully her!"

Charles smiled and said: "I didn't bully her, I just told her that I visited her hometown."

It's just that Furong and Zhang Jingjing can't communicate at the moment, and Furong can't confirm it for a while, so she can only pull Zhang Jingjing away.

Charles just smiled and walked towards the auditorium.

Perhaps because Ouagadou is oriented towards the whole of Africa, there is no sectarianism here. Students and professors from all over the world can get along well without fighting. It is no problem at all to change the name of the Nobel Peace Prize to the Ouagadou Prize.

If there is a fight, it is estimated that the descendants of former colonists such as Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, and Durmstrang will be the first to be beaten. The students of Kodos Torrez and Ilvermorny are responsible. arch fire.

Because of this, the positions of the students at today's dinner were also disrupted.

When Charles entered the door, he took out a bird egg from the box according to the instructions of the receiving students. A small hummingbird broke out of the shell in his palm and took him to the seat.

"Oh, what a coincidence?" Charles sat down and found Fang Yan on his left.

After greeting him, Fang Yan asked him curiously: "My question, why did Professor Xu call you Xiaocha this morning? I thought you were going to steal watermelon."

Charles curled his lips and replied, "My surname is Smith. Could it be that I'm called Xiao Shi? Is it rare to be nicknamed because of the homonym? Is someone calling you a girl from the village, or a little dwarf?"

Fang Yan pouted and replied, "They dare not."

"Let me ask you," she asked again, "Then do you know why Professor Xu's name is Xu Qingru, the word origin water? You should know the word?"

Charles replied triumphantly: "Because Zhu Xi's "Feelings from Viewing Books" said 'Ask the canal to be so clear, because there is a source of living water'. His word 'Yuan Shui' is also related to this poem, and it also comes from " Xunzi·Dharma Xing's "Trickling source of water, never full and never clogged"."

Fang Yan looked at him in surprise. When a foreigner told him about Zhu Xi and Xunzi, he felt a little unreal, and exclaimed, "You know so much."

Charles shook his head and said, "Not much, not much! How much? Not much."

Now Fang Yan was even more surprised, and continued to ask him: "Then what else do you know?"

Charles replied: "I can also make taro braised pork..."

"Wow!" Fang Yan suddenly exclaimed, "Really?!"

Charles nodded with a smile. It seems that this girl's taste is similar to his own.

Fang Yan asked him what to eat in England, and Charles changed the topic: "It seems that you and Xiao Zhang have a good relationship."

"Of course." Fang Yan said, "We were born on the same day, and our parents are in the same ward. She lives in Shuijie, and I live at the foot of the water tower. We often played together by the Yongjiang River when we were young."

After she finished speaking, a lot of snacks and drinks suddenly flew on the table, and everyone chatted while eating.

Not long after, a flock of beautiful birds flew over the auditorium, estimated to be thousands of them. They were flying in groups under the ceiling, and their chirping calls formed a rhythmic piece of music. Charles' legs couldn't help shaking. stand up.

"Ah, I'm sorry!" Charles' leg accidentally touched the person on the right. It was a girl from Ouagadou who looked sixteen or seventeen years old.

The girl could speak English, and said with a smile, "It's okay. I'm Catherine Clayton. You must be Charles Smith, right?"

Charles looked at her in surprise and asked, "Am I so famous?"

Catherine replied with a smile: "I saw your self-introduction. I think you must be a very smart person who can speak so many languages. It's just that I was busy with research and didn't have time to write to you."

Charles laughed a little embarrassedly, and said to her, "It seems that I'm going to disappoint you, I'm just ordinary."

Catherine said bluntly: "It doesn't matter, it's a bit ordinary. I'm studying human body self-transfiguration recently. I want to ask Professor McGonagall at Hogwarts about some questions about transfiguration. It would be best if I can ask His Excellency Dumbledore. I would like to ask You deliver the letter for me, and I can help you if you have any trouble."

Charles was not disgusted by her bluntness, and immediately agreed: "This is not a problem, can you tell me the general situation of your research, I will talk to Professor Dumbledore tonight when I have a chance."

"Thank you so much!" Catherine looked delighted.

The project she is currently researching is disgusted by the professors in Waggadu, so she can only find foreign aid.

Then she roughly told Charles about the content of her research, and Charles was so shocked that he began to lead the speech before recovering.
